SWIMMING POOL LEAK DETECTION
Swimming pools typically have three types of leaks:
PLUMBING LEAKS
Plumbing leaks are usually PVC pipe and/or fittings that break from:
-
Tree roots
-
Ground shifting (sometimes from poor drainage)
-
Improper workmanship
-
Materials used in construction
To accurately detect if/and where plumbing leaks exist, we pressure check the plumbing system in the pool and spa one section at a time.
If the test confirms a leak, we will pinpoint the location with our ultrasonic sound equipment.
STRUCTURAL LEAKS
Structural leaks are actual leaks from the vessel itself. Imagine your pool is a bucket and the bucket has a hole in it. Structural leaks are located with experience and dye.
EQUIPMENT LEAKS
Equipment leaks can easily be identified if pool equipment sits up high on a slab and does not have shrubs and overgrowth obstructing view. Pump seals, valves, and waste line systems are the most common equipment leaks.
